A placement model for matrix acidizing of vertically extensive, multilayer gas reservoirs

Design of matrix acidizing treatments of carbonate formation is still a challenge
although extensive research has been done on it. It is necessary to estimate acid
distribution along the wellbore. This estimation is very important especially for the case
where the reservoir properties vary along the wellbore.
This work provides development and application of an apparent skin factor
model which accounts for both damage and mobility difference between acid and gas.
Combining this model with a conventional acid placement model, we develop an acid
placement model for vertically extensive, multilayer gas reservoirs. A computer program
is developed implementing the acid placement model. The program is used to simulate
hypothetical examples of acid placement for vertically extensive, multilayer gas
reservoirs. This model will improve matrix acidizing for gas reservoirs and enable realtime
monitoring of acid stimulation more accurately.
